Metropolis, one of the most highly regarded design magazines in the world, recently turned its gaze on Squares. Along with showing off the unique interior design of the nightclub in a gallery of beautiful photos, Metropolis revealed some fascinating details about the design.

The studio behind the design of Squares, Reunion Goods & Services, searched through pictures of historic social clubs for inspiration to craft the new club.Taking elements of classic social clubs — accoutrements like mounted game, desk globes and trophies — Reunion transformed these into mosaic designs.The walls and bar top of the club glitter with these designs.In fact, a total of 25,000 tiles were used to create an evocative, golden, pixelated interior world.

Of the project and its NoMad home, Reunion Goods & Services lead designer Eric Adolfsen told Metropolis, “We wanted to create a place that was both fun and full of energy but also made sense in such a historic and grand New York neighborhood.”

The next time you are planning a big night out, head to Squares and enjoy the wonderful design for yourself.
